There will be a good deal of activities taking place at the Flake Out Festival. The festival takes place across the street from the Wisconsin Dells Visitor & Convention Bureau on La Crosse Street. A number of events scheduled include the magnificent snow sculpting competition, horse-drawn wagon rides, pony rides, fireworks, an arts and crafts fair, live music, craft activities for children, and food to eat. There is plenty of free parking.

The foundation of the festival is the snow sculptures. These magnificent sculptures are judged on creativity, technique, and message. The winning team at the Flake Out Festival will advance to the 2009 United States National Competition in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

During both days of the Flake Out Festival a free event for children will take place at the Kids Craft Corner. Here children will be able to create craft projects that they can bring home with them. The craft project a child makes is sure to be cherished for many years.

If you like arts and crafts, the Flake Out Festival will have an Arts & Crafts Fair with more than 50 area craftspeople and artisans. Here you will have a chance to browse through the various items for sale and perhaps make a purchase.
